The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, invites applications for an open tenure-track faculty position in the area of Earthquake Engineering, to be filled at the untenured Assistant Professor level. Applicants should be engaged in research that helps to fulfill the strategic vision of the Department: http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/about/overview.

Many communities are located in areas of high seismicity, which creates needs for research and teaching in earthquake engineering. Opportunities exist to advance modeling and simulation methods, improve assessment and design methods, and develop new structural systems and technologies, all in the context of improving multi-hazard resilience of the built environment. We seek candidates with expertise in areas including, but not limited to, experimental methods to advance structural systems and models; analytical modeling and numerical simulation of individual facilities or urban regions; monitoring and control; damage assessment; and performance-based earthquake engineering.

The faculty member will teach undergraduate and graduate courses as part of the Civil and Environmental Engineering curricula. The faculty member will have the opportunity to interact with faculty throughout the Department and across the Berkeley campus.

Applicants must send by October 30, 2017, a detailed resume and cover letter, a statement of teaching interests, a statement of research interests, copies of two publications or manuscripts, and the names and contact information for three references. Letters of reference will only be solicited for semi-finalists, and candidates will be notified in advance. All letters will be treated as confidential per University policy and California state law. Please refer potential referees, including writers of letters provided via a third party (i.e., dossier service or career center), to the UC Berkeley statement of confidentiality: http://apo.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html prior to submitting their letters.

The expected start date is July 1, 2018. To be considered for this position, all degree requirements for Ph.D. or equivalent degree with the exception of the dissertation are required at the time of application. A Ph.D. or equivalent degree must be completed within one year of start date. Please submit your application materials electronically through Berkeley's Academic Personnel recruiting website at:https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF01472.

Please contact us at jobs@ce.berkeley.edu if you have questions or encounter any problems with the application process. Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
